Used to be able to get the battery % by swiping from left to right.  Does not work with latest release.  How do I check the battery percentage, all the app shows are Low Medium and High.

@SunsetRunner, it is now on the top of the Today screen - from the Clock screen, scroll up to open the Today screen, and the battery indicator will be on the top of that screen.

It's slow because Today no longer takes watch data, like today steps, but takes phone data, like history. So, Today takes (for me) 5 seconds+ to start.

 

And it's there because either this is a transitory state or someone dropped some notes and picked them up in a random order, being too shy to ask why it makes no sense.

 

There is nothing when swiping from the right. Where the battery used to be, there is a hole. The settings got moved to hold-left-button, but (twist) the battery didn't.

 

In fact, the easiest way to find out what the battery is is to charge it. I'd say use the app but the app is intentionally vague because Fitbit. "medium" battery.

Gosh, Feroznz, I hadn't realized that until you pointed that out. It used to take me about 1 second to get the battery info, and now it takes me between 1 1/2 and 2 seconds!!!

Gee, @SunsetRunner, I thought that extra second of waiting was because I was getting old - 3/4th of a century can take a toll on a guy after all....   Smiley Happy
